The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

You will ask, "When we have recognized that the self is all, whom should we praise, admire, worship, and love? To praise, worship, admire, and love brings the idea of another. We cannot worship our self, praise our self, admire our self." I will say that you are born with a tendency to worship. There is someone whom you admire, someone before whom you bow, someone of whom you ask help. If we want someone to do something for us, we bow before him. If we want his money, his favor, we bow before him. The beauties that are beautiful for one day, and tomorrow the beauty may be gone, we admire. Why should we then not admire, why should we not love and worship that Being Who is sufficient to supply all our needs, Whose beauty never changes, and Whose beauty is all that there is?
